Folks who follow Oregon recruiting were surprised last week when the Ducks received a commitment from Shawnee high school's Jake Pisarcik. The 6-foot-4, 280-pound offensive lineman out of Medford, New Jersey was not on the radar of any recruiting service and was relatively lightly recruited when compared to the vast majority of Oregon's targets.

Duck Sports Authority spoke with Shawnee head coach Tim Gushue to get some answers and insights into one of his players.

"Coach Azzinaro first started talking to me about two weeks ago," Gushue began. "I do know the Oregon staff. As a high school staff we have actually gone out to Eugene the last two Februarys to kind of pick their brains about how they do things."
